Vintage Modified TB Precision Bass....'51 Headstock Shape **PENDING**

Don't know a lot about the history of this. My GF bought this for me as a present to encourage me to pick up a bass again after a long time out and selling all my gear a few years before. A move she is probably regretting now Has a J-East preamp fitted and has DR Black Beauties which have about 5 minutes playing time since I strung them. Truss rod cover missing. Specs that I can find online are: Neck-thru body construction Multi-laminate mahogany and maple neck Mahogany body Rosewood fingerboard with dot inlay Grover bass tuners Custom JJ pickups Again..if you've seen the other listings in this clearout...Active basses are a bit lost on me. I'm a bit thick Plays nice and sounds good.

Bought this with an idea of changing the pickups for dimarzio with the cream covers. for a 70's coffee and creme feel.. Never going to happen though. It's nice condition. Definitely been played but only one small mark that I can see. Surface marks where it's been played with a pick on the pickguard. Cool thing and all seems to be working as it should. Specs: Model Name: Squier P-Bass Special Series: Squier Standard Series Body: Agathis Neck: Maple, Jazz Bass Neck, C-Shape, Polyurethane Finish Fingerboard: Rosewood, 9.5” Radius (241 mm) No. of Frets: 20 Medium Jumbo Scale Length: 34” (864 mm) Width at Nut: 1.500” (38 mm) Hardware: Chrome Machine Heads: Standard Open-Gear Tuners Bridge: Standard 4-Saddle Pickups: * 1 Split Single-Coil Precision Bass Pickup (Mid) * 1 Single-Coil Jazz Bass Pickup (Bridge) Pickup Switching: None Controls: * Volume 1 (Neck Pickup) * Volume 2 (Bridge Pickup) * Master Tone

Bought on here a few months ago and an absolutely beautiful bass. I'll paste the description from the previous seller below because it's perfect: It doesn't say California on the headstock instead it says "Custom Shop Instrument". From enquiries I made to Sandberg I believe this was a special bass built before Sandberg officially started making the California series. (Made around 2004-6 (I believe). I bought this on here in 2010 and have used it regularly since. It has a very reasonable weight of 9lbs 2oz and has terrific balance. When I originally bought this I really wanted a passive VS4 and I recently bought one so I'm not really using this to it's full potential. A new model VM4 in this spec would cost around £1500. I upgraded the old active circuit with a brand new Sandberg preamp as the old one did not have a passive treble control and I also upgraded to the newest style Sandberg bridge and string tree. The finish is a really nice soft-aged white/cream. I don't think I added any further dings! This bass now has a Sandberg P style rather than the original Delano as I tried a more recent VM4 and realised why Sandberg modified the design fairly quickly. I find the Sandberg P is less nasal sounding in the "reverse P" position. I kept the original Delano MM on as it sounds great. The aforementioned preamp is Sandberg's own 2-band with active/passive push/pull volume knob (made by Glockenklang for Sandberg) The neck is 39mm at the zero fret, so a little wider than a Jazz but narrower than a typical Precision and has a fairly slim feel and plays very well. I believe that the body wood is Alder. Selling due to the realisation that I just prefer passive basses. Too many options confuse my feeble mind!!! Not in any rush on this and I'm definitely open to trades. I like roadworn and the 'lived life' look. Fender P's, Maruszczyk Jake, T Birds, Cataldos and Rics..(If i'm allowed to mention them here? Apologies if not) Any questions just holler. It deffo looks a lot yellower/creamier in the flesh. Sandberg gig bag included.

Used in Perfect working order. With original packaging and manual. Shipping no problem. I've seen something else I really reaaaalllllyyyy want. You all know the feeling. It's a fantastic amp but I tend to use my Orange Terror and no point keeping a great amp unused. The Mrs has found my secret stash of basses in my office at work. Not a happy camper.... Good thing she doesn't know about the other silo I have hidden away Price includes shipping. Happy to take offers.
